Senate Republicans are buzzing with optimism that they’ve found path to reopen the Department of Homeland Security and end long airport delays.
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are buzzing with optimism that they’ve found a viable path to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, four sources familiar with negotiations between the White House and Congress told NBC News.
Republicans believe the framework could gain the support of President Donald Trump and secure enough Democratic support to quickly fund TSA and bring an end to long lines at airports.
Asked after a White House meeting whether Republicans have a solution, Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., said: “We do.”
The path involves funding all of DHS with the exception of immigration enforcement and deportation operations under ICE.
Once DHS is largely functioning again, Republicans would attempt to use the filibuster-proof “reconciliation” process to fund the rest of ICE and pass limited portions of the SAVE America Act, an election bill that is Trump’s top priority.
